Cooking with Tofu
I'm one of those weird people who loves tofu. I don't just tolerate it. The great thing about tofu is it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. I usually sautee it with olive oil, garlic, onions, and a dash of soy sauce, which gives it a golden brown color and good flavor. The soy sauce is key because it adds saltiness. When stir-frying tofu, use the extra-firm variety because the softer versions will break up when you stir them and you'll have something that looks like cottage cheese (yuck!). I make stir fry so often that I hardly ever experiment with other ways of cooking with tofu, but I'm going to make some baked cajun tofu sandwiches this week and will report back on the results!

i love tofu too. I marinate it in rice wine and lite soy sauce (it has half the salt) and some spices (chinese 5 spice or mint usually) and oven for 20 minutes and broiler for 5. yummy

I was wondering how your "no dairy" thing was coming along. I'm only on day two of my non-dairy diet and I'm breaking out more than usual. I was wondering how soon your skin started to show improvement! Please email me if you've got the time to.

I'm enjoying the entries I've read, good luck on the non-dairy lifestyle! It really is so much easier than people fear.

Hi Anna!
Sounds great, you are on the right path. I was just wondering of you ever considered Raw Foods as an option? It is the ultimate in environmentally friendly lifestyles and the max for your health.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
